CHICAGO, Oct. l9.-The, twenty fourth
annual grand international convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers opened in Central Music hall at I:3O
p. m. today, with delegates present from
all parts of the United States. Mayor
Roche welcomed the delegates on behalf
of the city in a short speech. Speeches
were also made by Governor Oglesby,
Rev. DR.. Thomas, Cong ressman w. Z.
Mason and others. The chief feature of
this afternoons exercises was the annual
address of Grand Chief Engineer z. NJ.
Arthur. In opening his address Arthur
said: Perhaps to some our coming con-
yention to your city will only. be regarded
as a grand meeting of another
army of fanatic laborers, but we believe
to most people, and certainly to the read
ing public, we are known as an organize
ton of honest men, having honest inten-
tons, and which we ev r have and shall
ever execute In a straig httorward, honest
manner. We are enemies only to wrong
In Its various devices aud CARDS, and can
assuredly say that political schemes and
aspirations have no place or part in our
association"
Arthur went on to say that the a~ssocia-
ton numbered $50, 900 men and the re-
pNASt hS ooibs ohO"Gu NudI uuIllR Iut
fiscal year just closed $3.50, 500 had been
paid to widows and orphans; seventy
seven members had been disabled, and 1873
forfeited. Alter further statistics, he
said: Taking all things into considera-
ton, our relations both to ourselves and
with various railroads employing brother
hood men are amicable. When we con-
slider the dissatisfaction which is every
where manifest about US our troubles
pale into lnsigniicance more and more.
Closely defined is the line becoming which
divides the honest man satisfied with the
remuneration which he has truly earned,
until by his own effort he can RE to a
higher position in life and the loud
voiced 'homb ~thrower,' who is scarcely
able the speak to English language, seeks
to win his own comfortable living from
those who have worked for it, presuming
upon the Imagination and arouslng false
hopes in the hearts of those who are still
more ignorant than himself. Among
sensible men the day for all this is past. "
In closing he urged upon them the
necessity of abstaining from everything
that would in the slightest degree impair
their usefulness as citizens or their ef6ci-
ency as locomotive engineers.

The Killing of HusseH.

New York, Oct. 19.-Judge Cowing
this morning charged the Jury in the case
Of ex Policeman Edward Hahn, who has
been on trial for the last six days for the
killing of Capt. Jack Hussey. The jury,
after being out an hour, came in with a
verdict of not guilty. The verdict was a
general surprise and caused much indig-
nation among the friends of the dead
captain. Hahn was at once liberated and
was out of the court room before the
crowd had a second look at him.
Capt. Hussey was the gatekeeper at
Castle Garden, and was widely known for
his courageous behavior in saving drown
ing persons. He was Sc years old. Pc
liceman Hahn was returning home from
an excursion on the evening of the day of
the shooting, when be encountered Capt.
Hussey on Jackson street, in company
with another man, and both the worse
for liquor. Hahn ~endeavored to get the
life saver to go home, but had to stop sew
eral times to let him get a drink. Finally
they became involved in a quarrel, and
Hahn was compelled to take to his heels.
Hussey gave chase, a large mob collected
and all sorts of missiles were thrown at
the retrcating policeman and the latter,
after firing twice in the air to attract at
tention and assistance, shot at Hussey,
intending to disable him only. The shot,
however, proved fatal two or three days
after. When the policeman fired at
Hussey he was badly scared. and he testi
fed that ne believed himself to be in peril
from the crowd,

Tobacco is INDUCED in to IN incredible
extent. 1t is mostly smoked in Persian
water pipes (ghalyan). If the tobacco is
of the Shiraz brands it is very good, but
strong; and the Persian smoker will smoke
so many pipes a day-often forty to fifty
al to be in a estate of happiness"
called "keff, D." early in the afternoon.
This means a species of narcosis brought
on by their peculiar manner of smoking,
that is, inhaling the smoke, allowing it
to penetrate the lungs, and then letting it
escape by the nose and ears. AS tobacco
is excessively cheap and time no object
to the average Persian, this variety of
dissipation is the most prevalent one, and
n not forbidden by the Koran either.
While the 'keff" lasts the pupils of the
eyes are dilated, and a sort of drowsy in
difference to all outside objects seems to
pervade the smoker. A curious fact in
connection with the use Of tobacco in
Persia is the manner in which its solace
is provided by vendors in the streets to
all passers by. Cigars are not sold there,
but the vendors, each carrying a goodly
supply of pipes and tobacco with him, are
plentiful. For two cents anybody can sit
down In the street and smoke a well filled
ghalyan. This takes him about thirty
minutes to do.-The Cosmopolitan.

The Western Union Will Not

But %Contemplates Making Some
Reductions.
The Presidents Last Day in
Atlanta
Will Not Raise Rates.

New York, Oct. 10 The following
was adopted at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Western Union to-
day:
ResolUed. That no advance in rates
heretofore charged by this company be
made. except in cases of ten and fifteen
cent rates between points where the hand
ling of business at these rates has been
made at an absolute loss, and be it further
Resolued. That officials of the company
be empowered and directed to reduce
rates now charged wherever, in theirjudg-
ment, such reduction should be made.
The Times this morning printed a state
ment that the Western Union had served
notice On 1000 Baltimore & Ohio oper
ators, dispensing with their service and
would Immediately push rates up. DIR.
Green said this afternoon:
Western Union rates have not been
advanced, but, On the contrary, we to-day
have been considering some very sweep
ing reductions which it is proposed to
make. There is not a word of truth in
the statement that 1000 Baltimore &
Ohio employees will be thrown out of EN-
ployment. There will not be 5 per cent
of them thrown out of employment. |
don't suppose we shall relieve a single
operator except for cause. There will be
just as many instruments used as before.
A few clerks may be dispensed with"

her strength nearly or quite exhausted,
she became helpless. She left the house
